Today I used @CoMaps for the first time for hiking (Panorama) and I am so happy with it. The downloaded map had everything I needed - thanks to the many OSM contributors - and it was super useful.
We can have nice things without having to pay CA$35.99 a year, so I’ll happily just donate that amount directly. Long live #OSM!

Any recommendations out there for smartwatches? My main usecase is sleep tracking. Looking for something in the smartwatch world that is open source, or ethical like fairphone, and/or modular like framework

Tests are passing?! I can go to bed. Yay.
Mini Rack Root update: I've been working on search functionality, because I don't have enough in the backlog already for Rack Root, and I've discovered just how little I know about database searches. After MANY iterations back and forth on all the ways not to do it, I've finally found a working piece of code.
I even used ChatGPT, which I almost never do and it was mostly helpful. Sometimes a search engine won't quite get you there and that's how ChatGPT helped. Here's an example with code, help me fix it.
I've also had oh-so-much fun with database schemas being case sensitive (camel case is out, snake case is in), triggers going...somewhere unknown, calling make_searchable() in the right places, and making sure my test environment was _really_ doing what it should have when I dropped the tables to recreate everything. Testing is close to, but not the same as, day to day use when an app is running, of course.
That's a really good stopping point for tonight and I will take it. 55 tests, all green.

Most news organizations don't understand that China's open-source AI is designed in a way that makes organizations dependent on the creator's consultants. In a way, using the software is free. Yet, for most, it leads into dependencies.
